Article: Lancement de "la dernière impulsion pour compléter la réforme des services financiers": La Commission suit-elle le bon chemin?
Le 2 Juin 2010, la Commission Européenne (CE) a rendu public son agenda 2010-2011 ainsi que son plan d'action pour les marchés financiers. A cette occasion, elle a proposé d'améliorer la surveillance des agences de notation, a lancé un débat sur le gouvernement d'entreprise dans les établissements financiers, et a publié une communication sur les services financiers 2010-2011, intitulée "La réglementation des services financiers au service d'une croissance durable". Ces trois aspects en effet répondent aux engagements du G20 de créer un cadre régulatoire plus sûr pour les marchés financiers, pour permettre la reprise économique, et, dans l'éventualité d'une crise future, pour éviter que cette dernière ne dérape. Comme l'a précisé le Président de la Commission Européenne José Manuel Barroso ce jour-là: "aujourd'hui la Commission lance la dernière impulsion pour compléter la réforme des services financiers en Europe. Ceci fait partie d'un agenda plus global pour stabiliser, consolider et restaurer une croissance durable pour l'économie européenne."

Am 2. Juni 2010 hat die Europäische Kommission ihre Agenda 2010-2011 veröffentlicht, sowie ihre Vorschläge zu den Änderungen der EU-Vorschriften zu Ratingagenturen vorgelegt und eine öffentliche Konsultation zur Reform der Corporate Governance in Finanzinstituten eingeleitet. Die Kommission hat auch eine allgemeinere Mitteilung 2010-2011 über den Finanzdienstleistungssektor verabschiedet („Regulierung der Finanzdienstleistungen für nachhaltiges Wachstum“). So was entspricht der Verpflichtung der Kommission beim G20-Gipfel, ein sicherer und stabiler Finanzsystem sicherzustellen. Kommissionspräsident José Manuel Barroso erklärte aus diesem Anlass: "Die Kommission lanciert heute den letzten Schritt zur Vervollständigung der EU-Finanzdienstleistungensreform. Dies ist Teil eines breitangelegten Programms zur Wiederherstellung von nachhaltigem Wachstum, sowie der Stabilisierung und Konsolidierung der europäischen Wirtschaft“

Articolo: Verso la “spinta finale per completare la riforma dell’Unione europea dei servizi finanziari”: la Commissione è sulla strada giusta?
Il 2 giugno 2010, la Commissione del’Unione Europea (UE) ha svelato il suo calendario ed il suo piano d’azione per il 2010-2011 in materia di mercati finanziari. La Commissione ha proposto di migliorare la supervisione delle Agenzie per la valutazione dei crediti, ha aperto il dibattito sulla corporate governance nelle istituzioni finanziarie ed ha pubblicato un comunicato sui servizi finanziari 2010-2011 (“Regolamentare i servizi finanziari per uno sviluppo sostenibile”). Tuttavia, nessuno di questi tre aspetti corrisponde all’impegno, preso dall’UE durante il G20, di creare un quadro di riferimento più sicuro per i mercati finanziari – partecipando alla ripresa economica – e di attuare un sistema tale da evitare una crisi futura. Lo stesso giorno, il Presidente della Commissione José Manuel Barroso ha affermato: “Oggi la Commissione sta dando la spinta finale per completare la riforma dei servizi finanziari. Questo fa parte della nostra ampia agenda, al fine di stabilizzare, consolidare e riavviare una crescita sostenibile dell’economia europea”.
